The My Little Pony franchise debuted in 1982, the creation of American illustrator and designer Bonnie Zacherle. Together with sculptor Charles Muenchinger and manager Steve D'Aguanno, Bonnie submitted a design patent in August 1981 for "an ornamental design for a toy animal". She was then working for Hasbro. The patent was granted in August 1983.

Flutter Ponies are ponies with tiny bodies, curly hair, longer legs than regular ponies and fairy-like wings. They were first released in 1986. The Flutter Ponies may appear delicate, but in truth, they possess a powerful ability called the Utter Flutter, which allows them to blow away everything in their path by flapping their wings in a rapid speed. They are rarely seen, preferring to live in seclusion, usually in Flutter Valley. Honeysuckle, Morning Glory and Rosedust were the only notable ones in the first My Little Pony series.

Forget-Me-Not is a clever Flutter Pony, who is usually smart. She is very knowledgeable on things, especially on the appearance of Tambelon. According to her US Backcard story, Forget-Me-Not gathered all the ponies in the meadow for a surprise birthday party. There were balloons, presents, and a birthday cake that said "Happy Birthday Megan." Then she placed a candle made of glittering stardust on the cake. When Megan arrived, a beautiful sprinkling of stardust showered the air. Everyone laughed as the stardust whirled around them. Megan's wish to share her birthday with all her friends had come true. In the UK comic, she told Baby Lucky of the Misty Mountain, which urged him to go there and led to the discovery of the Mountain Boy Ponies.

Honeysuckle is shown to be argumentative to the other Flutter Ponies but sometimes respective to Rosedust. According to her US Backcard story, The colorful leaves fell to the ground one by one. It was time for Honeysuckle to change the season from Autumn to Winter. She gathered snow crystals from a secret ice cave and flew into the sky, sprinkling the crystals into the clouds and ponds. Snowflakes began to dance down from the clouds as the ponds iced over. Honeysuckle watched from above as children donned their mittens and scarves, ready to build snowmen and slide down snow-covered hills. She only has one appearance in the UK comic.

Lily brought lots of presents, played games and sang songs with the baby ponies. At bedtime, Lily told them how Flutter Ponies spread good luck by flapping their magical wings. Then she gave each one a goodnight kiss and flew off into the sky. High above the clouds, Lily watched over her little friends, filling their heads with sweet dreams. She was already planning her next visit that was sure to be full of happy surprises. There are FiM ponies with the name of Lily but have yet to have official differences to tell them apart.

The Seaponies are brightly colored seahorse-like creatures who dwell in the rivers and lakes of Dream Valley. They love underwater polo and can perform elaborate songs and dance numbers. They were first released in 1983 and only appeared in the two original specials. The Seaponies are based on the Hippocamp, a mythological creature shared by Phoenician and Greek mythology. A sub-line of the Seaponies called Baby Seaponies debuted later in 1985 and later in My Little Pony: The Movie.

According to Backstroke's Backcard story, Splasher was playing with her turtle float on the shore when she heard splashing coming from the cove by the rocks. Quietly, she hid behind a rock to watch. Another baby sea pony was in the shallow water, bobbing its fins and flippers up and down. She was so graceful, gliding about in the water, just like they learned in swimming class. "What a wonderful swimmer!" Splasher said out loud. The baby sea pony looked up in response to Splasher's voice. "Can you teach me to swim like that?" Splasher asked, joining her in the water. The two baby sea ponies swam and played together until it was time to go home. "You swim so well that I'm going to call you Backstroke," Splasher laughed. From then on, Backstroke the baby sea pony, was known as the best swimmer in the sea and taught all the other sea ponies how to do the backstroke. Baby Backstroke is the only Baby Seapony that appears in Escape from Catrina. She is seen playing with Baby Moondancer.

Beachcomber is a playful baby seapony who appeared in the original series. She only has a brief appearance in some episodes without any speaking roles. Beachcomber is then re-released in the third incarnation toyline, this time as an Earth Pony. She likes to spend the time in the beach and hopes on finding a buried treasure.

Sand Dollar is among one of the Seaponies that appears in Escape from Catrina. She, Whitecap, and Sea Mist were playing volleyball with Lickety-Split, Posey, and Sundance. As a toy she is also accompanied by, High Tide, Sea Breeze, and Wave Jumper.

Zipzee is usually supportive towards the ponies and the other Breezies. Usually, she and her friends agree with each other to lead the way. Zipzee also has Allergic rhinitis; she usually sneezes a lot when she is near flowers, despite being born in Breezy Blossom.

Crystal Ponies are inhabitants of the Crystal Empire in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. They appear as Earth Ponies with a few distinctive features. Their form changes depending on their mood. When they're in a sad, depressed mood, their manes and tails are flat and unstyled, their ears are always folded down, and their coats have a greyish hue. When they're in a happy mood (without the Crystal Heart), their manes and tails revert to different styles, their ears are up as normal, and their coats have a brighter hue. Additionally, mares get their decorations on their heads/hair. When in a more jubilant mood (with the Crystal Heart fully powered), all the Crystal Ponies retain their "happy mood" form and their bodies magically transform into a translucent crystallized form. The Crystal Heart also crystallizes the Mane Six, Spike, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance as well, albeit briefly (possibly reverting them back to their original forms as they exit the Crystal Empire).

The Pony Friends is a sub-line of My Little Pony, first released in 1986. They are composed of animals bearing the same brushable hair and cutie marks as the ponies, such as a giraffe, lion, camel, kangaroo, llama and other animals. Each of the Pony Friends never made an appearance in the animated series, until My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The first one in the show was a zebra.

Fairy Tails

The Fairy Tails is a short-lived sub-line, consisting of My Little Pony-esque birds, which are the titular Fairy Tails. The line was in stores from 1986 to 1987, corresponding with Year Five of original toy line. This year saw the release of the Pony Friends in the My Little Pony line, making it a distinct possibility that they and Fairy Tails were part of the same investigation into an expansion of My Little Pony that offered more than only ponies.

Dream Beauties

Dream Beauties is another sub-line of My Little Pony, released in 1988. These were Hasbro's attempt at a more realistic version of My Little Pony.

Takara variants

In 1984, Takara (Later merged with Tomy to form Takara Tomy) released a line of My Little Pony toys, which were released in two types: Osharena Pony(おしゃれなポニー,Osharena ponī) and Kawaii Pony(かわいいポニー,Kawaī ponī).

In Friendship is Magic, he's been redesigned again, now closely resembling his original counterpart except in this version, he has purple skin and lime green scales. Spike also handles communications between Twilight and Princess Celestia, burning Twilight's written messages with his fire breath to send them and then burping up the scrolls Celestia sends back. He frequently displays a sarcastic streak and laughs at others' misfortune, but can be counted on to help Twilight and her friends when they need him. He also eats gemstones and it is shown that he has a crush on Rarity. In the season 2 episode "Secret of my Excess" he admits his crush to her which she accepts.

Whimsey Weatherbe is a female winged dragon, described to live in Willy Nilly Mountain at the outskirts of Ponyville. She speaks with a New Jersey accent and likes to have friends. Whimsey's abilities are shown to manipulate the weather using her dragon breath, which explains the changing weather on the mountain. She "kidnaps" Twinkle Wish, the wishing star in Ponyville after Scootaloo accidentally opens its box, leading to the ponies going to the mountain to retrieve it from her. After the ponies failed to convince her, she decides to give it back with a changed heart at the night of the Winter Wishes Festival.

Since the first toy line of My Little Pony, human characters were present the franchise. The Williams Siblings were the first set of human characters created for the entire series, and appeared in the original TV Series.

She and her siblings live on a ranch where she keeps a horse, TJ, and a bull, Tauro. Gentle and motherly, but also mature and resourceful, she acts as the Little Ponies' leader, and in times of crisis the ponies often fly across the rainbow to find her. She keeps the Rainbow of Light, a special locket which contains a powerful rainbow to defeat anything that is evil threatening the ponies.

The Equestria Girls are the second set of human characters that were created for the franchise, which are featured in Friendship is Magic. They appear in the film series of the same name as their respective ponies' human counterparts.

During Rainbow Rocks, Twilight Sparkle learned through research that the Dazzlings were sirens from Equestria who used their music to cause disharmony. They were banished to the human world by Star Swirl the Bearded. In the final battle against the Rainbooms, the band was defeated, causing the ruby gem pendants with which they controlled the students to shatter and explode. As a result, their inability to sing led to them being chased off in disgrace.

Angel is Fluttershy's pet white rabbit. Angel can be seen as a cunning and mischievous bunny despite his cute and seemingly innocent name. He has a strong influence over Fluttershy's decisions in the series, as he is far more assertive than the timid pegasus. However, he does seem to genuinely care for Fluttershy, as several of his actions toward her are usually just a little push to get her to do something he knows she wants.

Gummy is Pinkie Pie's pet alligator. Gummy appears to be usually calm, showing little interest to whatever happens around him. However, he also has a tendency to try biting various things and to hide in the water. When he's first introduced in Feeling Pinkie Keen, he shows rather aggressive behavior for a pet, because after Pinkie sets him on the floor, he proceeds to try to bite the pink Earth Pony repeatedly; as he has no teeth, this does no damage and Pinkie doesn't even seem to notice. The episode Party of One shows that his behavior is usually more peaceful, although he still tends to bite whatever happens to be near him. Most of the time, Gummy is docile to the point of absurdity, and in direct contrast with Pinkie Pie's crazed antics; he shows little to no awareness of his surroundings, often just sitting and staring into space with the same unchanging expression on his face at all times. No matter what is happening, Gummy usually just sits in place and stares at nothing, although he will occasionally attempt to bite nearby objects or even ponies. He's also able to "dance" to the music with his tail to be the only part of his body actually moving. He also seems to favor a ball of wool as his favorite toy, happily pushing it along with his nose or riding it as it rolls along. Pinkie seems convinced that Gummy is much more complex and lively than he appears to be. At the end of Party of One, for example, she said that Gummy was "pretty upset" about his party being unattended, despite the fact that Gummy had shown no change in his behavior or mood whatsoever.

Opalescence is Rarity's pet Persian cat. Opalescence is a white cat with a purple bow on top of her head. She wears a purple collar studded with opals. Although Rarity has expressed that Opal often swipes at her when she attempts to groom her, Rarity seems to have a deep caring for her cat – instantly forgetting her woes when she saw Opal apparently stuck in a tree. Opal also seems to have a sarcastic sense of humor, chopping off some of Sweetie Belle's hair and offering a smug look afterwards when Sweetie Belle suggested she might be good with animals. She shares her owner's tastes in fashion and begrudgingly assists her with her work. Most of the time, however, she prefers to sleep on the various fabrics about the studio.

Owlowiscious is Twilight Sparkle's pet horned owl. Although incapable of speech, Owlowiscious is highly intelligent. Also shows to be brave and willing to help the others. Not much is known of his personality at the time, as he seems to be collected and inexpressive.

Philomena is Princess Celestia's pet phoenix. Fluttershy takes from Princess Celestia without permission to heal the bird when the pegasus believed that she was sick. Later on in the episode Philomena is seen messing around with Fluttershy by refusing the medicine she gives to her just for the fun of it. According to Princess Celestia, Philomena, like all phoenixes, molts all her feathers and burns into ashes at the end of her life cycle, only to rise from the ashes and renew herself as good as new. Philomena means "Strong Friend" in Greek.

She chooses him as her new pet when the other animals leave her behind, caught up in the frenzy of winning the race. Afterward, he is given a magic propeller that enables him to fly.

However, due to the Flores's lies, Megan and ponies defeated them and shuts the Crabnasties in a stone prison away from Paradise Estates. After they realized that the Crabnasties were telling the truth, they then helped them capture the Flores. Posey apologies for their wrongful arrest and the Crabnasties respond by plowing her garden, making it ready for replanting.

Chief Thunderhooves is the leader of the buffalo herd. Chief Thunderhooves seems to be rather long-winded, judging by how many fathers he listed, and is very traditional.

Still he warned the Appleloosans of his intentions before leading his tribe to fight them and was at least willing to negotiate. He only appeared in Over a Barrel.

It is revealed, in the time that Pinkie Pie spends trying to cheer him up, that he has arrived in Ponyville to settle down and live in. Once he and Pinkie Pie arrive at his new, secluded residence, he reveals that he has travelled far and wide across Equestria, to places such as Fillydelphia and Manehattan, to search for a special friend of his. Cranky shows his anger when he becomes very mad at Pinkie Pie once she accidentally destroys a photo album endeared to him, containing the only memories of his special friend. He does his best to keep Pinkie Pie at bay, going as far as to chain and board up his door. Once Pinkie Pie shows up at his door with Cranky's special friend, who turns out to be Matilda from earlier on in the episode, whom Cranky immediately notices the voice of, he becomes extremely joyful and shows genuine thanks to Pinkie Pie and offers her his friendship. Once he gets a kiss from Matilda, he finally feels it in him to smile, revealing his friendly inside character. He made a cameo in Dragon Quest.

Little Strongheart is Chief Thunderhoove's right hand. She has a brash personality and is shown to have a good athletic ability, even dodging Rainbow Dash during the train heist.

Pinkie eventually discovers that the bakers had eaten each other's work, pointing out donut sprinkles in Mulia's wrinkles.

Also she has special skills on changing shape, even disguising herself as a ghost to scare away the residents of Paradise Estates.

Discord is the primary antagonist of Season 2's first 2 episodes "Return of Harmony". According to Princess Celestia, Discord is the ancient spirit of chaos who, before the reign of the sister goddesses, ruled the land of Equestria, making unicorns', pegasus', and earth ponies' lives miserable. He is referred to by Cheerilee as a "Draconequus," and has the appearance of a chimera; as far as can be discerned, he has the body and left foreleg of a gryphon, a lion's arm and paw for his right arm, the head of a pony with an oversized tooth and billy goat beard, a mismatched pair of antlers, asymmetrical eyes, the neck of a mule, a pair of wings (one bat, one pegasus), the left hind leg of a pony, the right hind leg of a dragon, and the tail of a snake. His personality is likewise chaotic as his body, desiring nothing more than to cause chaos for his own amusement, treating his confrontation with the heroes as if it were a game. This hides a far more malicious and sadistic aspect of his personality, shown by the outright glee he took in tormenting the group while they were playing his "game". He also gets enraged when his psychological manipulations fail to work, causing him to briefly drop his more playful aspects and simply hypnotize Fluttershy in a fit of rage when she proved too accepting of her faults to succumb to it. The most defining trait of Discord is his skill at manipulating the emotions and thoughts of his enemies. He's even depicted controlling ponies with puppeteer strings in one of the stain glass pictures in the royal palace.

In a battle over one thousand years ago, before Princess Luna had transformed into Nightmare Moon and was banished to the moon, the sisters wielded the Elements of Harmony and encased Discord in stone, leaving him as a statue of himself. This statue would be put on display in the gardens around the royal palace, until the inharmonious aura caused by the quarrels of the Cutie Mark Crusaders gave him enough strength to break free of his prison. The spell binding him inside the stone had broken when Princesses Celestia and Luna forfeit their control over the Elements of Harmony.

He managed to steal the Elements of Harmony from a special vault in the royal palace, challenging the Bearers of the Elements to find them in the hedge maze in the castle garden. He robs the Bearers of their flight and magical capabilities by removing Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's wings, and Twilight Sparkle's and Rarity's horns, citing the first rule of his "game" as prohibiting their use. The second rule of his game is that all of the Bearers must participate, or else the game is over with him as the victor by default.[4] The ponies proceed into the maze, only to be split up from each other at the start and independently confronted by Discord, who twists their thoughts by exploiting their personal insecurities, as well as using hypnosis, in order to coerce them into abandoning the qualities that make them Bearers of the Elements. As a result, Applejack becomes a compulsive liar, Pinkie Pie becomes hateful of laughter and joy, Rarity becomes avaricious, Fluttershy becomes cruel and insensitive, and Rainbow Dash abandons her loyalty to her friends and to Equestria when she accepts Discord's dubious offer to take back her wings and leave the maze, after being tricked into believing her home city of Cloudsdale is collapsing without her intervention.

At this point, Discord's gambit has proven successful in thwarting the ponies' efforts in completing his game, with the added effect of pitting them against one another, rendering the Elements of Harmony useless. However, despite his efforts, Twilight manages to revert all of her friend's true elements and face Discord using the Elements of Harmony, eventually defeating him by sealing him back to his original stone form, albeit this time with a look of horror frozen on his face.

In the Season 3 episode Keep Calm and Flutter On, Celestia asks the ponies to release and reform Discord. Fluttershy is able to do this by treating him like a friend, making him realize how important friendship is to him.

In the Season 4 premiere episode Princess Twilight Sparkle, destructive plants known as Plunderseeds start invading and causing mayhem in Ponyville. Knowing his natural nature, Twilight and her friends summon him with the Elements and command him to undo the mess. Although Discord denies the Plunderseeds to be his doing, at the end of the episode, Discord admits that the Plunderseeds were indeed created by him, having planted them before his imprisonment in stone. However, the seeds didn't grow due to the Tree of Harmony's magic shielding them, until that very day. When Twilight questions Discord as to why he didn't mention this earlier, Discord states that the whole experience had taught her a way of being a princess, much to her aggravation.

Discord later appears in the episode Three's a Crowd, apparently having fallen ill to a disease known as the "blue flu". Discord later asks Twilight to take care of him, which unfortunately interrupts a visit with Princess Cadance. After retrieving a flower that can cure him, Discord reveals he faked being sick to see if Twilight would go to such great lengths to help him, again to her aggravation. Deservingly, Discord's actions backfire on him when he actually becomes sick due to a tatzelwurm sneezing on him.

In the Season 4 finale, "Twilight's Kingdom", Discord is tasked by Celestia with finding and capturing the recently released Tirek. He encounters Tirek who tricks him into betraying his pony friends, even giving him a necklace as a token of gratitude and loyalty. After he captures the non-princess ponies for Tirek, he is double-crossed by Tirek, who steals his powers and admits that the necklace has no meaning to him.

After a long fight between Quadruple-Princess Twilight Sparkle and Tirek that results in a draw, Tirek trades all of Twilight's Allicorn Power for her friends and Discord. Discord now understands the true meaning of friendship, and gives Twilight the necklace. The necklace turns out to be the sixth and final key needed to access the chest at the Tree of Harmony. The Mane 6 take it as Tirek causes destruction, and they use the Powers of Friendship to transport Tirek back to his imprisonment and save Equestria.

Discord appears in later episodes as a reluctant ally of the Mane Six, occasionally causing mischief while struggling to become a better friend to them.[5]

He then returned to Ponyland 500 years later, capturing all the Unicorn Ponies one by one and plans to capture everyone in Dream Valley to be banished to the Shadow World.

Her main goal is to keep Shining Armor for herself so she and her Changeling subjects have a constant food supply and power, then wanting to take over Canterlot and soon after all of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle had seen all the signs throughout the organizing of the wedding, accusing her of being evil but it was dismissed as her being too possessive of her brother. To prevent Twilight's further interference, and the threat of the Elements of Harmony being used against her, Chrysalis forcibly teleports Twilight Sparkle to the forgotten diamond caves under Canterlot. However, the Queen makes a disastrous error taunting Twilight in an attempt to anger her to the point where she would kill the true Cadance, who is also being held in the mines, by mistake. Instead, the prisoners recognized each other and escaped the mines to expose the Queen at the wedding ceremony. Even though the Queen had gained enough power to enable to her species to invade Canterlot while she personally struck down Princess Celestia, she had not counted on Twilight to enabling Cadance to free her fiance and using their combined power to cast out the Changelings from Equestria.

The Smooze is a slimy multi-eyed creation of Hydia the witch. She once used it to wipe out the kingdom of Grundleland and plans to the same with Dream Valley which it does. The first ones to see it are the Bushwoolies who just met up with Magic Star, Shady, and Gusty. They escape it, but Gusty and two Bushwoolies are splashed. On their bodies, the Smooze hardens into a crusty coating that won't come off and that makes them miserable. The Moochic tells Megan and the ponies to seek out the Flutter Ponies, the only ones who can stop the Smooze. Megan and the ponies rescue Morning Glory who was trapped in a well.

Squirk, a horrible sea creature who once ruled Dream Valley all the land was underwater. A cruel dictator, he forbade anyone to speak against him or they would feel the wrath of his flashstone amulet. As the water evaporated over the years, other creatures began to inhabit the land. One species was Pluma's people, the Pennas who were led by her grandfather, Ruff. Squirk refused to allow the Pennas to live there, and tries to fight them off. But Ruff stole the flashstone and broke it in two. He threw one half into the water and the other into the now-dry land which became Dream Valley. He knew Squirk could never retrieve the second half, making the first half useless. After centuries of waiting, Squirk had finally captured Ruff, who was now old and weak. Using him as a hostage, Squirk is forcing Pluma to work for him. While the ponies free themselves, Pluma uses her powers to destroy Paradise Estate leaving only the imprint of the foundation. She digs into the ground and uncovers the one half of the flashstone. Pluma tries to restore the estate, but with only half amulet, only half the estate appears. While Pluma tries contact Squirk, Fizzy creates bubbles for Molly, Danny, Megan, and herself to float and breathe in underwater.

When they make it to land, they return to Paradise Estate, Danny devises a plan to catch Squirk and Crank. They lure and trap him, and take the flashstone. Megan and Wind Whistler use it to stop the flood and banish Squirk underwater.

Tirek is a demon (mainly a Baphomet) with elements of a centaur. Not much is revealed of his past or what connection he has to the ponies but by the time of the pilot episode, he has established himself as Master of Midnight Castle, assembled a small army, and has bested at least one human kingdom as seen by how he enslaved a human prince, Scorpan, and turned him into a monster. At some point he also acquired Spike as a minion; according to one fan, Tirek might have murdered the baby dragon’s parents.[6]

According to the show’s writer’s Bible, he’s a wizard;[7] his magic is most clearly manifest in his Rainbow of Darkness. The Rainbow of Darkness is a powerful force of black magic seemingly equal to the original ponies’ Rainbow of Light—which is itself a precursor to the Friendship is Magic's Elements of Harmony. The Rainbow of Darkness can also distort reality and transform living things into his bestial slaves, among other things.

In “Escape from Midnight Castle,” he has made the decision to use his Rainbow of Darkness to bring about never ending night and to that end dispatches Scorpan to kidnap four ponies. His plan is to turn them into freaks with his magic so that the deformed and now monstrous ponies will pull his chariot through the air and thus enable to bring about “The Night that Never Ends.” When Scorpan fails to bring enough ponies after a raid on Dream Castle, Tirek threatens to behead Scorpan’s foster son Spike. The centaur sees a chance, however, when a pony rescue party led by human heroine Megan Williams inadvertently brings the last ponies he needs to complete his scheme.

After transforming the last pony, Tirek flies into the air atop his demon-pony pulled chariot in order to complete his scheme. He also grievously injures Scorpan who had reformed by that point and takes back the pouch which contains his Rainbow. After a brief battle with his forces, Megan tries to use her Rainbow of Light against Tirek's Rainbow of Darkness but it is quickly enveloped by Tirek's magic. To the centaur’s shock however the Rainbow of Light overpowers his Rainbow, and brutally kills him; he dies screaming and is vaporized. Upon his death, those who had been under his power revert to their true form and Midnight Castle ceases to exist.

Tirek made his Friendship is Magic debut in the season 4 finale "Twilight's Kingdom". Unlike the original Tirek, this form doesn't have control over an army, but bears a similar design. In this story, he arrived with Scorpan from a distant land with the intent of stealing magic from ponies. However, Scorpan eventually became friends with the ponies, even befriending Starswirl the Bearded. Scorpan tried to persuade his brother to stop his tyrannical attack on Equestria, but Tirek refused the request. Scorpan then went to Princess Celestia and Luna, who sapped Tirek's strength and banished him to Tartarus, an underground prison (see: Alcatraz) guarded by a Cerberus. After the Cerberus' escape (see the episode "It's About Time.") Tirek used his remaining strength to escape from Tartarus and hide among ponies, sapping their magic to gain his strength back.

After laying low for two seasons, he attacks unicorns and steals their magic. The Twin Princesses get visions of Tirek's attack, and decide to send the reformed Discord after him. Tirek learns of this and tricks Discord into helping him by offering him a position as second-in-command and controller of chaos. Discord accepts and helps Tirek gain more magic. Over time, Tirek becomes able to steal flight from Pegasi and strength from Earth Ponies. This causes fear in Celestia, who decides that she, Cadance, and Luna should transfer their powers over to Twilight.

Tirek and Discord capture the other members of the Mane 6 and Tirek betrays Discord, sapping his Draconnequus magic. Twilight and Tirek fight, with them both being equally matched. Tirek makes a deal with Twilight: her friends for her Alicorn Magic. Twilight accepts, asking that Tirek releases all of her friends, including Discord. Discord gives Twilight the sixth key, and they use the magic of the chest to weaken Tirek and banish him to Tartarus.

Tirek is shown to be a sadist who delights in humiliating his followers and to be capable, not only of murder, but of infanticide. He is thus far the only villain explicitly shown in cannon as willing to kill and the only villain who in turn deliberately was killed by the series' heroes. He is seen by various fans as the pony equivalent of Satan[8] and on a Cracked.com list of villains out of all proportion to the innocuous heroes they faced, he was ranked number one.[9]

The Windigoes are malevolent "winter spirits that feed off fighting and hatred; the more hate the spirit feels, the colder things become", according to the character Twilight Sparkle plays in the Hearth's Warming Eve play, Clover the Clever. The three windigoes feature three times throughout the episode: at the conclusion of the grand summit, after the pony leaders' snowball fight, and at the cave that the ponies took as shelter. The Windigoes look like ghostly and slightly translucent horses. In their first appearance the three windigoes only look down onto the grand summit from a passage in the clouds with glowing blue eyes, but in their second and third appearances they wail and fly in a circle of clouds. They are defeated by "the fire of friendship", a pink flame that takes the shape of a heart which was created in the play when Clover, Smart Cookie, and Pansy become friends. However, it is implied that they, or other members of their race, are still around in modern Equestria when one of their distinctive howls is heard through an open window when Rainbow Dash and Applejack start arguing about who has the responsibility of closing it. They are all based on the Wendigo, a malevolent cannibalistic Algonquian spirit strongly associated with the winter, the North, and coldness, as well as with famine and starvation. They only appeared in Hearths Warming Eve.
